[Intro] Gm

Gm                   F
I'd been a girl and wandering
Gm            F
Frequented my late afternoon
Gm          F
Summer in New York City
Gm                  F
Wearin' the sweater colour green
Gm                            F        Bb
So one night I sat down in a chair and knitted there

Gm                               F
Years after trying to lead a woman's life
Gm                           F       Bb  Eb
I met a friend who had a red-haired wife
Gm                             F
She said to me, Woman, I'd like your clothes
Gm                               F
Come on and let us try both and take tender care
Gm                        F        Bb
And when you need help I will be there

Db             Ab     Db            Ab
Memories and seasons achieve their affairs
Db           Ab        Db          Ab
Sometime in April the sweater I wear
Bb           Eb         Bb      Eb
Sometime in April the letter I read
Gm              F           Gm                F
Dear friend, I think of you on the top of Empire State

Gm                    F
Dear friend, I'm lonesome
Gm                    F
Dear friend, I've been well
Gm                    F
How do you spell your name?
Gm                 F
The city has changed me
Cm                  Eb
I am no longer the same
Gm               F       Gm          F
He wrote to me: Woman, I'd like to stay
Gm           F    Gm              F
Liberty Statue has got so many stars
Gm                 F             Bb
But when you need help I will be there

Gm                   F
I'd been a girl and wandering
Gm            F
Frequented my late afternoon
Gm          F
Summer in New York City
Gm                  F
